Great video, they really need to drop their prices bigtime! $125 or $150 for a digital record is insane! I’d much rather get the $30 SACD.

Its not a rant! Man, that is your passion and good on you for saying it! I have picked up some fine music with fabulous recordings (ie. Otis Taylor) from your channel over the years and thank you for those discoveries. It also shows that you don't always need to go MOFI (MFSL) to get good quality recording. Analogue Productions pump out some great stuff too and this whole ordeal has shown them to be one of the true champions of sound. Please keep the recommendations coming! Cheers!

I must wonder how many music reviewers and vinyl enthusiasts said they really enjoyed the analogue sound of their MoFi vinyl only to find out now the source was DSD on some cases.

This is a slap in the face of "audiophiles" that think they can hear differences, news flash, they can't. This is why they got fooled for so long, I have a friends saying that their LP from MOFI is perfect, this and that, now they figure it out that the EXACT same LP they praised so much, came out to be from a digital source. This proves once and for all how easily "audiophiles" people can be fooled.

In my opinion MoFi has done irreparable damage to the vinyl industry. Every vinyl collector will now question their hobby and why they would get the vinyl version at all. If they loved their MoFi albums knowing now they are digital then they are confused and angry. This will cause way way more damage than you think to the entire industry including the legitimate AAA labels. This also translates to the entire music industry including every record store. Here we go back to people buying low quality music files on Itunes because they think there is no difference now.

Great take. I like that you are focusing on the cost and production side of this. That has been my biggest gripe. I had issues with MOFI before this scandal because nothing is ever in stock. I used to ask - why dont they just press more - and then I would be told - well this is SPECIAL - its a ONE STEP, or a ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING - but it turns out they can produce as much as they want - sure it takes longer - but AP seems to figure it out. Great video. Also, I just got some DMM Blue note - John Patton and Jimmy Smith - I was wondering what was up with these and if they are all analog or not - they are represses from the 80s so I assumed they were all analog. Again love the channel!

i am a 27 years collector, and i think that is a good thing - now the crazy prices will drop down and i hope it all will back to normal.

Finally someone who hits the nail in the head and is not falling for the whole digital vs analog vendeta. The real issue and why many people are mad at MoFi is that people were willing to pay the premium thinking they were buying a AAA product when in reality MoFi was maliciously desiving their consumers!!!!

New records need to sound like the original records sounded when new.

Well said - you’re one of the few KZreadrs to nail the problem: cost & the bogus limited edition runs.

I have seven or eight DMM recordings on vinyl (obviously) and in the years which were quite some time ago that I purchased them they sounded truly different (possibly a little hard in the upper mid range and higher) but very very high quality listenable releases.

🤗THANKS GUIDO …I AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL 👍we see 👀 your passion…💚💚💚

Well said! You're bang on about it being about the money.

Thanks for linking the database. Greetings from Vienna.

Thank you for this video. You hit the nail on the head (so to speak). That is the main issue, along with the fact that they intentionally deceived the consumer. To look at it another way, if you paid extra for something that claimed it was gluten free or maybe organic and it turned out that was not, you would not be happy about it. It does not make it okay just because someone says "Well, it still tastes good, so what's the problem?"

Absolutely, you get it. Thanks

I agree regarding the price there charging(way to high) and the fact they've kept this dsd fiasco In the dark for so many years,my question is are they really any better than say music on vinyl who freely admit they source the pressing from digital files of which I've no idea of the quality of there files I'd be curious to find out ...any ideas?

There should be a class action on mofi charging almost double while being a digital transfer simple they lied and a lot of customers paid top doller for something that should of been half the price many would of never paid what they where asking

The WAPO article was FANTASTIC! I understand much more now. Thanks for that! 👍🏼

Demand? There was not ONCE when I was able to get to the purchase button before, every damn time, I would get the "awaiting repress" notice! The only numbers they concerned themselves with was how many the flippers were demanding.
